Pros

Offers one of the best health insurance plan

Cons

Loves underpaying their staff and takes in inexperienced managers so they don’t have to pay them as much, which in turn causes a lot of burnout. Really hard to grow within as a lot of the teams are understaffed and they won’t let you move to a different role or up much. Big difference in pay between employees with same experience. Left this place for a similar position and I earn 30k more
